road map to success: offshore wind energy in virginiaHampton Roads Ballroom VI

What would the business case be if dod were to aggregate its renewable energy needs on the virginia coast to acquire up to 230mW from offshore sources? What would the components of such a deal be, and what limiting factors would it face? this adc innovation Laboratory will explore these questions through a fast-paced interactive exchange among key leaders and the audience. it will minimize “talking heads” to encourage audience interaction, and capture the results of both plenary and breakout sub-sessions into a road map for further discussion and action. the Laboratory leader will set the context for the session and lead a discussion to identify the components of the deal, then participants will break out into sub-groups to discuss specifics and capture critical constraints. Finally, the facilitator will bring the entire group back together to assemble the road map and prioritize next steps for further concept development.

Navigating Regional BRAC Traffic Jams: Road Blocks and Best practices Hampton Roads Ballroom VII

communities, ranging from small towns to large metropolitan areas, may face significant transportation challenges resulting from Brac-induced growth at military installations. an increase in traffic congestion can lead to reduced employee productivity and degradation in the quality of life for both the military and civilian workforce, as well as affect our nation’s military readiness if employees cannot efficiently travel to and from work. state and local governments are often forced to adopt strategies to expedite the planning and execution of transportation projects due to growing installations in their regions. in the past, dod has been limited in its ability to provide the resources and assistance needed to help neighboring communities address the impact on the local transportation infrastructure. this innovation laboratory will identify the challenges that must be overcome and explore potential best practices infrastructure.

Developing regional partnerships: innovative approaches

in hampton roads Hampton Roads Ballroom VII

hampton roads consists of 13 cities and counties that have learned to address common challenges as a region, not as individual municipalities. this regional approach includes many areas, but principal among them is valuing the many federal facilities – particularly military facilities – in the region. this panel will address how they do it – identifying regional issues, developing strategies that address them, and keeping the lines of communication open in order to achieve desired results.

“Behind the scenes”: what it really takes to make partnering work Hampton Roads Ballroom VIII

this session will take the audience “behind the scenes” to highlight the challenges and successes of making joint partnerships effective. it deals with what to do when faced with structuring a politically balanced approach when there are existing standing committees and varying agendas, integrating urban and rural communities with varying levels of land use authorities, addressing a regional approach when one jurisdiction has the largest affected land use issues but there is a need for a holistic partnering approach, organizing and addressing issues that extend over large areas and have many stakeholders, and facilitating consensus and action to move from the study phase to the implementation phase. panelists will share lessons learned and successful approaches as well as pitfalls to avoid. the session will feature a structured discussion format to encourage audience participation.

Joint planning for health manpower in growth

CommunitiesHampton Roads Ballroom VI

physician planning models of simply calculating community need are no longer sufficient – growth objectives and the potential impact of health reform must also be considered. this is true whether the region considered is urban/suburban or rural, has a generous supply of clinicians or not, and supports existing partnerships between military health facilities and civilian providers or not. We will examine a process for defining health manpower needs – for physicians, midlevels, and dentists – prioritizing those needs, understanding the potential impact of recruiting and retaining talent to a region, sourcing prospective clinicians, and defining the potential obstacles to successful recruitment.

The Great Debate: Overcoming Conflicting Regulatory positions at kansas army ammunition plant Hampton Roads Ballroom V

When the EPA, DOD, and state regulators conflict on applicable regulatory standards and law, how does the LRA fit into the picture and how does property transfer occur? this panel will explore the dod, epa, state and Lra’s positions on contaminants, rcra permits and environmental use controls, and their input on the redevelopment of the former Kansas army ammunition plant. the panelists will be challenged with questions that highlight the inherent differences in philosophy, implementation of regulations, and charter of each organization. how can we get to “yes” when the ultimate goal is property transfer and redevelopment to minimize impacts to communities.

power purchase agreements: the tug of warHampton Roads Ballroom VII

the central element to any energy generation project is the power purchase agreement (ppa). inevitably, the interests of the purchaser of power diverges from the producer or seller of power, when the power is produced on base and sold to the military services. this panel will address the issues that must be addressed in the ppa, such as pricing, renewable energy certificates, length of term and termination rights, and other impediments that may stand in the way, such as legal contracting authority, state regulation, and omB scoring. Further, because a real estate authority must also be identified, the interplay with enhanced use leasing will be discussed.

“Quid pro Quo” partnerships & agreements Hampton Roads Ballroom V

a quid pro quo is a fee simple transfer of public real estate in exchange for in-kind services or newly constructed facilities. these public-public-private partnerships (p4s) are enabled by collaborative intergovernmental authorities and legislation that expedite the transformation of public assets to a future footprint that conforms and aligns with agencies’ evolving missions. this “value-based realignment” approach has proven to accomplish infrastructure recapitalization in half the time. typically, these are “baby-step” $10 million-to-$60 million projects implemented at the community level by both military and non-military government agencies. the national guard and the reserves have completed numerous successful deals below the radar nationwide. similarly, two presidential initiatives, sustainable communities initiative and civilian property realignment board, hold great promise to fuel further Q2ps in placing thousands of federal assets on the market. What have these projects historically looked like? What kind of p4 authority can work in today’s financial and political climate? What kind of re-uses can these properties be put to: alternative energy plants, transit locations, sustainable communities? federal, state, and regional panelists will describe their transformative strategies to illustrate prototypes worth replicating in collaboration.

Building a regional approach to supporting transitioning military familiesHampton Roads Ballroom VI

BRAC mandated significant realignments for Eglin Air Force Base in northwest florida, making eglin home to the u.s. army 7th special forces group (airborne) and the initial Joint training center for the f-35 Jsf, bringing approximately 10,000 new residents into the community. recognizing this regional population increase, the Workforce development Board of okaloosa and Walton counties assembled representatives from key public-private providers and formed the northwest florida military families transition council. Working groups were created to focus on housing, education, employment, health care, and family services and are co-chaired by representatives from eglin and the community to ensure maximum collaboration and focus. this model is now marketed to all personnel moving to Northwest Florida and its success has solidified a cooperative military community partnership that will continue beyond Brac.

Can we afford to Create sustainable “green” installations?Hampton Roads Ballroom VII

as budgets decline and the regulatory environment stiffens, planners, operators, and installation managers are confronted with the challenge of efficiently running their aging bases while meeting federal mandates that are driving energy and water reduction and smarter waste management. the “tail to tooth”

ratio of facility and infrastructure operation and maintenance to capital acquisition cost is sapping dod’s ability to recapitalize its decaying physical plant. in this session we will explore several significant barriers that are blocking the advance of sustainable installations across the dod enterprise and propose systems-based master planning, life cycle design approaches, and changes in acquisition strategies that embrace the vision of environmentally conscious and more sustainable installations.

south Dakota and ellsworth air force Base: a Case study in installation and Community integrationHampton Roads Ballroom V

Broadening military-community interaction has been identified as key to military mission sustainment and ongoing community economic viability. in response, a number of communities are creating permanent organizations to institutionalize and maintain dialog, develop short-and long-range actions plans, and extend limits between the installation and community in support of mission requirements and sustainability. in south dakota, the state and affected communities are committed to supporting ellsworth air force Base to ensure that its essential national defense mission is maintained, if not expanded. via multiple contributors – the governor, state legislature, congressional delegation, corporate volunteers, and local government – this south dakota defense community is working with local and air force leadership to build and sustain a successful “installation and community integration.”

Community Based approaches to ensuring the mental well-Being of our military families Hampton Roads Ballroom VI

over the past ten years, roughly 2 million troops have been deployed to serve in iraq or afghanistan. many of these troops have been exposed to prolonged combat and, as a result, have been returning stateside with psychological issues. psychiatric diagnoses among post-deployed service members are on the rise. prevalence rates of post-traumatic stress disorder in the post-deployed population are estimated to be between 6 and 25 percent. additionally, recent studies estimated that between 8 and 14 percent of returning soldiers suffer from major depression. mental well-being and recovery not only requires access to appropriate mental health professionals, it requires the existence of a stable environment that surrounds the recovering soldier. stressors like employment, family stability, physical health, and financial status can hamper the recovery process of the soldiers and their families. this panel will discuss the community-based collaborations that can collectively provide support to the military family during its recover process. the focus will be on how employers, educational institutions, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and other organizations can work together to provide the safety net that promotes the mental well-being of our military families.

speciAl sessioN: JoiNiNg forces to support AmericA’s militArY fAmilies AND veterANsHampton Roads Ballroom IV

a special thank you to our event sponsor:

supporting military families and veterans and ensuring a high quality of life in our defense communities is a universally supported concept. Government entities at all levels, private sector interests, and non-profit organizations are playing an important role to ensure these important needs are met. Despite these efforts, there still remains significant gaps and future challenges that will require a new level of engagement. Budget cuts at DoD and other federal agencies, together with fiscal challenges at the state and local level will mean fewer resources just as the needs continue to increase. economic challenges, Brac, and future mission changes will continue to impact families and create the need for support. The end of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan is creating a large number of veterans, the likes we haven’t seen in a generation, all of whom have diverse needs.

thanks to the leadership of the first Lady michelle obama, the needs of military families and veterans are front and center. While this vital spotlight may one day fade, the needs will remain, and america’s defense communities/states will need to play a leadership role to ensure that support is sustained.

adc believes communities and states should, and must, be leaders on supporting the needs of military families and veterans and is focused on making this a reality. this summit is the next step in a process that will chart our collective path to achieving this important goal.

all conference attendees are invited to join this special general session. Learn more about issues facing military families and veterans, including the first Lady’s michelle obama’s Joining forces campaign. hear about a new tool that will help communities assess and improve their support of military families and veterans. participate in an interactive discussion that will discuss how communities/states can meet these challenges and what it will take to succeed. the outcomes from this session will be used to frame adc’s future actions and plans for advancing this issue.

Camp parks real property exchange: an innovative approach for milConHampton Roads Ballroom V

the parks reserve forces training area, historically known as camp parks, is located in dublin, calif., and is the training area for approximately 250 army reserve units and 20,000 reservists in northern california. most of the 100-plus buildings on the base are at least 50 years old and do not readily accommodate modern office equipment or meet today’s standards for convenience, health, or safety. Because these facilities are insufficient to support current and future mission requirements, new construction is needed to enable the base to fulfill its mandate and mission. But how can the military obtain new facilities with limited or no funding? is a real property exchange the new model for financing military base construction? how does a real property exchange work? our distinguished panel of federal officials and a private developer will share how a real property exchange can provide the army with much needed facilities and allow the developer to create new retail, office and residential uses and provide the city with economic growth and enhanced tax revenues.

fort monroe: will the “gibraltar of the Chesapeake” become our next national park?Hampton Roads Ballroom VII

fort monroe, a national historic treasure on the majestic chesapeake Bay, is a u.s. army installation scheduled to be closed under Brac 2005. fort monroe encompasses the largest stone fort ever built by the united states surrounded by a water-filled moat. President Lincoln and Jefferson Davis both stayed here (albeit under somewhat different conditions), and edgar allen poe wrote “the cask of amontillado” while stationed here. recent congressional and presidential-level interest may dramatically affect the next chapter in fort monroe’s history as momentum builds to transform the majestic “gibraltar of the chesapeake” into a national park. this session will provide an update on the changes taking place, how the reuse plan is being adapted to accommodate the changes, and the strategies being employed to keep the property transfer process moving forward amid these changes.

who owns the liability? addressing liability throughout the Base transfer life CycleHampton Roads Ballroom VIII

From start to finish, throughout a BRAC lifecycle, it isn’t always clear where the environmental liabilities lie and with whom. in

fact, those liabilities are constantly changing as the complexities and parties to the transfer evolve. this panel will explore the transfer of liability between the stakeholders involved in the various stages of a base transfer, and how they can best utilize the various risk-transfer mechanisms available to them, such as federal transfer documents, contract indemnifications, and insurance. particular focus will be given to the “end game” and how risk-transfer components can be interwoven to protect the interests of the Lra and their constituents.

fort monroe is one of the most unique installations on the 2005 Brac closure list. the fort is listed with the national park service as a national historic Landmark – the highest level of historic resource protection the nation provides – and contains incredible historic resources, such as the largest stone and water moat fort in America. As the fort’s official closure draws near, the commonwealth of virginia, the city of hampton, and the greater hampton roads community are all preparing to open the installation to the public. this mobile workshop will highlight the unique challenges to redeveloping such a historic site, and also demonstrate how the fort monroe authority is achieving its mission while addressing issues familiar, and perhaps not so familiar, to other installations undergoing closure.

enterprise real estate strategies Being implemented by federal agenciesHampton Roads Ballroom V

institutional Controls at BraC sites Hampton Roads Ballroom IV

military base closure and land transfer become more complicated when property is impaired with environmental contamination. characterization, remediation, and regulatory site closure can be long, involved and costly processes. Land use controls, also known as “institutional controls,” are legal

and administrative tools used to maintain protection of human health and the environment. this session will explore the types, use, and impacts of institutional controls as part of the cleanup process at Brac sites. representatives from dod, defense communities, and the private sector, will discuss the implications of institutional controls for valuation, reporting, enforcement, and long-term stewardship.

military and regional Community Collaborative planning and sustainability for future water resources Hampton Roads Ballroom VII

the army is currently facing water resource concerns both at its permanent installations and its contingency bases overseas. at its installations, water supply challenges include increasing regional demands for shared water resources, the aging of water infrastructure, declining groundwater levels, and uncertainties presented by climate change. the army environmental policy institute is working to help army leadership gain a fuller understanding of the role water plays across all missions and the interaction of water availability with other resources. The goal is to develop a water security strategy that defines water security, describes the internal and external drivers contributing to vulnerabilities, and describes the need for new ways of thinking about water security issues that encompass collaborative regional planning and management, ecosystem services, installation efficiency and innovation, and long-term sustainability.

Panel members will discuss how sustainability at army installations has evolved, the service’s current and planned sustainability initiatives and desired outcomes through fy2020, and the challenge of funding these initiatives in a constrained fiscal environment.

12:30 p.m. session Wrap

at the moment, it seems like civilian Brac is one of the few issues everyone agrees on. the president has his proposal, the house has a bill in committee, and the senate is working on its version. While there are still obstacles to overcome like budget scoring, experts think some version of this process will move forward. If a bill does pass, it could initiate a significant repositioning of the federal footprint across the country and the disposal of thousands of properties. the process will be guided by five principles: working to maximize return to the taxpayer, maximizing space utilization, reducing the reliance on costly leasing, creating value in underperforming assets, and improving the overall management and controls related to federal properties. What properties are selected will be important, but how will the federal government manage property

disposal? given the scale of properties envisioned, how will this process play out? What is the role of the general services administration and how would they approach property disposal?

Building on adc’s extensive experience in Brac and managing federal property transfer, the association is hosting a special forum on the civilian Brac, its implications, and potential opportunities. hear top experts from the public and private sector describe how this initiative likely will play out.
